"Sabotage" lyrics - JOHN CALE

Life is short and love is very sweet
Look at all the people running for their lives in the street
What they're running from? What they're running to?
Well, go down and ask them 'cause I wanna know too

Read and destroy everything that you read in the press
Read and destroy everything that you read in books
It's a waste of time, it's a waste of energy
It's a waste of paper and it's a waste of ink
Whatever you read in the books, leave it there
There's a word for that

[Chorus:]
Sabotage
Sabotage
Sabotage
Sabotage

The military intelligence isn't what it used to be
So what? Human intelligence isn't what it used to be either
It's a rising expectation, it's a rising of the tide
The wards will discharge all their patients in the street
Are they hurt again? They are mine, yeah
Murderer

[Chorus:]
Sabotage
Sabotage
Sabotage
Sabotage
Sabotage

[Outro:]
Sabotage
Sabotage
Sabotage
Sabotage
Sabotage
Sabotage
Sabotage
